Dynamical He Flashes in Double White Dwarf Binaries
The detonation of an overlying helium layer on a 0.8–1.1 M _⊙ carbon–oxygen (CO) white dwarf (WD) can detonate the CO WD and create a thermonuclear supernova (SN). Many authors have recently shown that when the mass of the He layer is low (≲0.03 M _⊙ ), the ashes from its detonation minimally impact...
